I just took the work all the way apart and put it back together. I did not glean any new information from that enterprise. Noisy is onto something, though.

One thing I would like to offer as a possible contributor to this behavior is 'private library.' It seems to me that every time there is wierdness, there is a private library. Could be nothing, but... anyway.

6> Well, in the example I posted, I tracked it back to a very particular non-private user. I think something really bad just happened to their data. Yeah, I know, a really helpful conclusion but it's all I got.

To the extent that the lists of editions for the work on those two pages don't agree, one of them must surely be wrong, no? Either there's an edition with no title that's missing from the work's editions page, or there's an edition that should have a title on the author combine/separate page.

The bug was not poorly stated. The bug was as it was described in the OP on October 30, 2010. THEN, Tim tinkered with it on January 12, 2011 and made it stop keeping you from accessing the page I described. It is still a bug, though, and so it has been reopened several times.It's not a bug in Tim's book, though, so we should all get used to seeing Updating info for 1 editions ... all over the place.

I isolated one of the [Title missing] editions, if that's any help. One of the works linked above was Love Letters to the Monkeys. I separated all of the real editions (recombined here). I was left with a work containing only the [Title missing] edition. It can been seen on the work combine potentials page.
